</div>i believe the strategy is to order from a local distributor<br><br>
eg Koolu for north america<br>

there is no duty on cell phone imports from Canada and most everywhere
else. Some 'processing charge' may be asessed by the USPS but it will
not be more than a few dollars." </div></div><br>[1] <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rulings/tariffs/85171200.html">http://www.faqs.org/rulings/tariffs/85171200.html</a><br><br>I'm no expert, but it should be free from tariffs.<br>
